Jean Hollis Weber

I have over 30 years of experience as a technical editor and writer. In 2003, after retiring from the paid workforce, I became involved with the OpenOffice.org community in the role of "lead editor" for a group of volunteers called OOoAuthors, who are writing user guides for OpenOffice.org. I am now Co-lead of the Documentation Project at OpenOffice.org. I am also active in the Friends of OpenDocument Inc., which publishes printed versions of the OpenOffice.org user guides.

In the past I was active in the Australia Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication and the Australian Society for Technical Communication. I have won several awards for my books and editors' website.

I maintain several websites and blogs: JeanWeber.com for technical editors, Avalook.com for travellers to Australia, Taming-Openoffice-org.com for users of OpenOffice.org, FriendsofOpenDocument.com, and jeanweber.blogspot.com for miscellaneous interests.
